I Am Taki

I just took my 6th round of cyramza. I want to know if anyone else feels as bad as I do. ## I am very sorry that you're feeling awful! However yes, that frequently happens with these medications, while they can be life saving, they do a number on your body and take a toll temporarily. You may also be at increased risk of bleeding. How are you feeling, now? Any better? ## Not to much better. I received the results of my cscan back after the six rounds and the cancer has spreaded even more. New tumors appeared. I don't know what the doctor may say when I go Thursday because she advised me when I started Cyramza that if there is any growth I would have exhausted all the chemo and clinical trials available. I am very afraid of what she may tell me.

wIl be having a tooth therapy tomorrow.Been using 3 betamox 500 tabs for 4 days,dr said i must use 6 betamox 1 hour before op.Reason being had a AAA aneurism repaired in Aug 2014.Might get infection. ## Hello, Bertie! How are you? Yes, that is normal to prevent infection, because dental infections have been directly tied to heart disease and some valve infections. The typical side effects of this antibiotic may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Dr put me on 25 mg for depression. I also take Celexa 40 mg. I was concerned about side-effects but was told not to worry. NOW Dr. says "you need to go off seroquel" after 3 months. I'm finding relief from my depression symptoms and she says I need to get off of it because it increases the risk of stroke by 3 times. Why did she put me on it in the first place? Is there brand new info that has surfaced that has changed her mind in 3 months? Advice? ## There is a warning about it, but it's relevant to other risk factors, such as having already had a stroke, TIA's, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure or atrial fibrillation. Learn more: Have you ever had any of those conditions, or do you smoke?

I have been taking percocet 325/10mg and they've always been white. Today they were yellow, round and with the imprint that looks like a G maybe and on the other side it has an imprint that has 230 on it. Are these generic or non generic? ## If it is a C instead of a G, and it has 230 and it is yellow round, it is generic oxycodone 10 mg/acetaminophen 325 mg . It is a generic made by Alvogen.

It may be the combination of the infection being treated and the medication. However, have you been actively engaging in intercourse? If so, then you should consult your doctor and have a pregnancy test done.

Because it has made me feel so much better I will not go off of them. I have a very depressive life of ups and downs PTSD. a car accident with head injury and everthing in between.

I've been taking tramadol for over two years now 1000mil a time that's 500mil then another 500 ten mins later I find it very hard to stop as it makes me ache fell horrible and just can't stop and think I really need to ## Hello, Dingle! How are you? The U.S. FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. As to stopping it, if you stop suddenly, those are normal withdrawal effects. The best thing to do is to taper off slowly, as guided by your doctor, by doing a slow taper to prevent the worst of the withdrawals. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am a heart patient - had CABG about 14 years ago. Medicines I am taking are : Deplatt CV 20 (1 tab daily), Monotrate OD 50 (1 tab daily), Valzaar 80 (2 tabs daily), Nebicard 10 (1 tab daily), Flavedon MR 35 mg (2 tabs daily); for prostrate problem, I am taking Urimax 0.4 (1 tab daily); for arthritis, I am taking Folitrax 7.5 (1 tab weekly). Along with these I am taking Cobadex Czs (1 tab daily) and Folvite 5 (1 tab daily). Is Folvite 5 necessary? I understand Cobadex Czs also has 'Folic acid'. Is any of these medicines superfluous? I am 64 years old.

I quit drinking as of now and over all I an feeling so much better and get this my BP has gone down so...

My son has been taking 20 mg citalopram for a few years and started with anxiety and depression issues a week ago and the doctor added 10 mg to add to his 20 on Tuesday. He seemed fine and on Saturday he said that he felt weird. I don't know whether to stop it and if so how do you stop the 10 mg? Please advise. ## Hello, Joan! How is your son doing? He might be experiencing side effects, which would be normal, if his dose has been raised. What types of symptoms is he experiencing? The FDA classifies this medication as an SSRI and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain.

I just started my 2nd pack of sprintec and I have been bleeding for over 10wks. I had an IUD removed prior to starting OCs. After several visits to the Dr they finally found I was bleeding due to the IUD causing me to have no lining on my uterus. The Dr said for me to take 3/day for 4 days then 2/day and so on until I start my period again. Is this normal?! ## Hello, Candy! How are you? I have never heard of them being taken this way, but it would be best to follow your doctor's instructions, since they are specially trained to help with such issues. They may just be trying to boost your hormone levels to stabilize your uterine lining to stop the bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can I still take Temazepam that expired 9 years ago? ## It doesn't become dangerous, once expired, but it will most likely have lost some of its efficacy. Even when a medication is stored in the original, factory sealed packaging, it still expires in 4 to 5 years, and if it has been opened, and placed in a prescription bottle dispensed by your pharmacy, then its expiration date is a year from when it was dispensed. Harvard Health has some great information available on expiration dates. The way the medication has been stored in the intervening years can also play a role, exposure to heat, light, air, and moisture all aid in degradation. It would be best to dispose of it, and see your doctor for a new prescription, if one is needed. Ref: Temazapam Information Is there anything else I...

While dry mouth can be a normal side effects of this medication, as reported by the U.S. FDA, the other symptoms are not very common. Thus, it might be best for you to switch to a different medication. What condition were you taking it to treat?

My biggest problem is fatigue. Is anyone taking another medication. Ex: Ritalin ? ## I take Ritalin when I have that walking through the mud feeling, particulary when weather is hot/humid. It's a HUGE help. I just take 1/2 dose (5 mg) most days, but sometimes have to take another in afternoon. Easy med...no side effects, but be careful you don't take too much cuz it'll make you jittery. Since Ive been on Amprya, i haven't taken ritalin, but do recommend it. Good luck ## I am doing great on Ritilan for fatigue. I used to take Provigil, but Ritilan is cheap and effective for me.
